Just how many Andrew or Drew Meyers do you expect you'll find in the nearby surroundings? Bimbo's isn't exactly high on the list of local eateries into which tourists tend to regularly stumble.

Now how damn difficult is it for you people to go to various online sources, consult detailed identification records, associate those with Facebook and other internet sites for photo confirmation, and have Victoria flush this guy out for the good of all society???

Public sentiment will dictate the results to follow - it doesn't have to be you...

Now goooooooooooooooooooo !!!

"Strongly deduce"-really-that is the call to action you're putting out? "Strongly deduce", obviously means, your guess has a better than even chance to be right, so why not try to destroy the lives of anybody with the name that lives in the area. And maybe harass his neighbors while you're at it, for good measure.

What's the worst that can happen-an innocent man getting beaten or killed? Or perhaps on the bright side, a rude customer gets beaten or killed-in your mind, would that make it all worthwhile?

I suppose you weighed the pros and cons of your comment before posting and concluded that destroying the wrong person, or several people over the trivial matter, is a small price to pay, if the chances are pretty good you targeted the right guy, so that Victoria's revenge dream can be fulfilled. Too bad she can't even identify the right guy from a photo. Which means you better "get" every Andrew Meyer that might be him, just to be sure.

In other words, you might have your regular readers swooning over how trendy, hip and clever you are, but as a "newspaper" you suck. I've seen high school papers that had a more professional editorial staff. Shame on you.

The fact that the main source on the story-the "victim" herself, misidentified the culprit ought to teach people something about jumping to conclusions, and joining a revenge mob based on what you think you know. In reality there are only a small handful of people that really know much about the story, and even then, they could have parts of it wrong.

Even if a fellow employee witnessed the whole thing, perhaps the server and the customer had a history-maybe they were neighbors 10 years ago, and she ran over his dog in anger after stepping in shit one too many times-who the fuck knows. That's why it's best to stick to fighting your own battles, and if you don't have any, be glad.

If you have pent up aggression, then get it out playing video games or paintball, or something. Joining this pathetic, self righteous lot of would-be heros jumping to the aid of the damsel in distress (or expert shit-stirrer), means you seriously need to get a life.

What we know of this ridiculously overblown, pathetic tale, is quotes from one angry person, along with a photo of a piece of paper, that, for all we know was created in photoshop, or maybe was a rude customer's actual bill, but was simply scribbled on by someone who thought it would be a funny hoax, before being photographed. Maybe the customer was as big a jerk as he seems, but used a stolen credit card.

Or maybe the server and the customer used to be friends, but had a falling out, and now are making up ways to "get" each other. Maybe, they have a running joke between them, of insulting each other that was good natured for a while before someone's feelings got hurt, and it turned into a feud.

Or maybe one of the comments on the story which claimed the waitress made an insulting remark about the weight of the customer's companion when they ordered, was true, and either "Andrew" or his date, made the infamous written comment in retaliation.

The scenarios that could conceivably fill in the gaps in the story are virtually endless, because, let's face it, a couple of angry online quotes, along with a photo of a piece of paper with a nasty comment written on it, is not enough for anyone but an idiot to think they really know the story well enough to join a revenge mob. Perhaps I shouldn't call a mob idiots, but that is exactly what they are in my book, by definition.

Any fool can go to the website at http://www.soundpolitics.com/voterlookup…, plug in Andrew Meyer, and strongly deduce that the Andrew Meyer who lives, oh, say, less than half-a-mile from Bimbo's is the correct target. Why you can even get the names of everybody who lives in his building, for quick and easy correspondence.

The waitress in this case was 100% in the right and her employer has but two options with regard to the incident:

(a) They can STFU and stand behind her silently

or

(b) They can dare to discipline her and then endure the wrath of her reaction which will be a lawsuit based on the public knowledge that Bimbo's has fostered a workplace environment in which harrassment is common. (she has photographic proof of same, and we've all now seen it)

As for the rest of us, we should use resources far more credible than mere Facebook and send Andrew Meyer up the river where he belongs. Obviously he had every right to leave a $0.00 tip, but the waitress had every right to do as she pleased with a 'personal' message written to her, and on stationery of HIS choosing.

Of course this is not about the tip... and soon the wrath of western society will come down hard upon the correct Andrew Meyer, as it should.

All we can do is sit back, laugh and taunt as justice is served hot and steamy to Andrew Meyer.

Dear customers: when you hear me yelling "EXCUSE ME" it means get out of my way. Not flip my tray or cry like a little b***h when your coat gets a spill on it.

Charming! Just remember, folks, two sides to every story - and, don't jump on the 'net pile so quickly, next time..

are you kidding me? this has got to be the best advertising for bimbos ever - why would they fire her? doesn't cost them anything and gets people in the door to spend money and big tips on victoria (and likely other servers).

i'm sure bimbos has seen their business spike in the past few days and, likely, after every one of these update posts go online. hell, i kind of wonder if this whole thing wasn't staged.

@24: No one person (not even Dan) can claim full responsibility for what happened. But that's precisely the point. When a gay kid commits suicide, it's usually not because of any one person (possibly excepting their parents), but from the cumulative effect of *everyone* harassing them.

If you want a world without harassment, then start at home. You're not going to make the world less mean by being mean yourself.

The person who left a rude note instead of a tip did something bad. The person who received the rude note instead of a tip proceeded to identify who she thought had given her the note, and treated him a way distinctly unlike she would want to be treated.

And now, all of you -- including many of the same people who piled on the innocent guy in the first place -- want to continue the cycle of mistreatment even further?

Andrew from California, please trust your conscience, and ignore the commenters here who would like to see the world become a meaner place. Your action will bring happiness to someone, and that's all the justification you need.

her apology appeared wanting, seemed self-absorbed, and didn't include much of an effort to right the wrongs she caused. she should at least request that everyone send innocent andrew an apology (or a compliment).

but yeah, i think i'm about tired of this topic, too.

what she did caused a guy to receive far worse insults, far more publically, and way more of them. (not to mention the private emails.)
